The Catholic Archdiocese of Accra  in collaboration with the Conference of Major Superiors of Religious in Ghana, will be leading a large-scale prayer protest next week.

This initiative seeks to rally Ghanaians from all walks of life to unite in both prayer and action to end the devastation caused by illegal mining in the country, commonly referred to as galamsey.

The protest, scheduled for Friday, October 11, is expected to draw support from over 50 organisations that have already voiced concerns over the environmental menace, combining prayer with public demonstrations.

In a statement, the organisers emphasised the spiritual dimension of the fight against illegal mining, urging citizens to quote, “call on God to do what we cannot do as humans to intervene in this galamsey fight,” end of quote.

The event will culminate in the presentation of petitions to key national figures, including President Nana Akufo-Addo, Speaker of Parliament Alban Bagbin, and Chief Justice Gertrude Torkornoo.
